The prior art in this field is illustrated, in particular, by: Heterocycles vol 12 No. 8, pages 1009-1011, (1979), Tetrahedron letters No. 7, pages 643-644, (1979), and J. Heter. Chem., 14 No. 2, pages 235-240, (1977), which mention pyrrolo[1,2-a]thieno-[3,2-f][1,4]diazepine compounds not including or in any way suggesting the compounds of the present invention.
The latter, which are pyrrolo[1,2-a]thieno-[2,3-f][1,4]diazepine compounds of novel structure, possess advantageous pharmacological properties. They interfere, in particular, with central benzodiazepine receptors of the peripheral type and exert a pronounced antihypoxic effect, thereby enabling them to be used in the treatment of ischemic syndromes of any localization, acute, transient or progressive, and in the correction of disorders linked to hypoxemia, for example during cerebral ageing.
They also possess substantial hypocholesterolemic, hypotriglyceridemic, hypolipidemic and hypoglycemic properties which make them valuable in the treatment of a large number of pathological disorders.
The subject of the present invention is also the process for preparing the compounds of general formula (I), wherein:
A--either 2-aminocarbonyl-3-(2-formyl-1-pyrrolyl)thiophene of formula (II): ##STR6## is treated 1) either with a mixture of water and triethylamine, to give the compound of formula (Ia): ##STR7## 2) or with an alcohol or a thiol of respective general formulae (III) and (IV):

in which R9 has the same meaning as in the compounds of general formula (I), so as to obtain the compounds of general formula (Im): ##STR19## in which R9 has the same meaning as in the compounds of general formula (I);
3) or, in an alkaline medium with a methyl ketone of general formula (VI) defined above, to give the compounds of general formula (If): ##STR20## in which R6 has the same meaning as in the compounds of general formula (I);
4) or, in the presence of triethylamine, with a compound of general formula (VII): ##STR21## in which Alk and Alk', which may be identical or different, each represent an alkyl radical having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, to give the compounds of general formula (Ih): ##STR22## in which Alk and Alk' have the meanings defined above; 5) or, in the presence of triethylamine, with a compound of general formula (VIII): ##STR23## in which Alk has the meaning defined above, to give the compounds of general formula (Ii): ##STR24## in which Alk has the meaning defined above; 6) or with LiAlH , to give the compound of formula (Ij): ##STR25## which, when treated a) either with a stoichiometric amount of an inorganic or organic acid, gives the corresponding acid-addition salt;
b) or with an alkyl iodide of general formula (IX):
R".sub.2 I                                                 (IX)
in which R"2 represents an alkyl radical having 1 to 5 carbon atoms in a straight or branched chain, gives, depending on the stoichiometric ratio (IX)/(Ij):

Hal--R"'.sub.2                                             (X)
in which R"'2 represents an arylsulfonyl radical in which the aryl group is optionally substituted with an alkyl radical having 1 to 5 carbon atoms in a straight or branched chain, gives the compounds of general formula (Ik2): ##STR28## in which R"'2 has the meaning defined above.
All the compounds of formula (Ia) to (Im) are comprised within the compounds of general formula (I).
The compounds of general formula (I) give rise to salts with physiologically tolerable acids. These salts are also included in the present invention.
The compounds of the present invention, as well as their salts, possess advantageous pharmacological and therapeutic properties, in particular potent antihypoxic activity as well as substantial metabolic properties.
During ageing or following a stroke, increased frailty and cell vulnerability are physiopathological components of importance in the search for new therapies directed towards protecting the brain placed in a position of inability to respond to any further stress emanating from its environment.
Such a stress may be reproduced in the form of a defective oxygen supply, and for this reason, in terms of their consequences, there is a close analogy between hypoxia and cerebral ageing.
The compounds of the present invention were tested for their capacity to prolong survival of the cerebral tissue during acute hypoxia in mice. These tests demonstrated that the compounds of the invention have a very potent antihypoxic protective effect, and thus confirmed the great value of their use in therapy.
By clearly counteracting brain death during insufficiency of the oxygen supply, the compounds of the present invention exert a pronounced antihypoxic effect and are hence useful in the case of ischemic syndromes of any localization, acute, transient or progressive, since they exert their pharmacological properties with respect to the oxygen deficiency which accompanies these mishaps. Their pharmacological properties enable them to be applied in the correction of disorders linked to hypoxemia, for example during cerebral ageing.
The compounds of the invention also possess exceptional metabolic properties, being strongly hypolipidemic, hypocholesterolemic, hypotriglyceridemic and hypoglycemic.
When given for 15 days to rats subjected to a hypercholesterolemic diet, they proved to be much more active (at least 30-fold) than clofibrate with respect to the lowering of the plasma triglyceride, cholesterol and HDL (high density lipoprotein)-cholesterol levels.
Moreover, the compounds of the present invention exhibit good hypotensive properties in animals at a dose of 30 mg/kg I.P.
The compounds of general formula (I), as well as their addition salts with a pharmaceutically acceptable inorganic or organic acid such as, for example, hydrochloric, methanesulfonic, citric and maleic acids, may be made into pharmaceutical preparations according to generally known processes, such as, for example, into tablets, hard gelatin capsules, dragees, solution for oral administration, injectable solution, suspensions for oral administration, emulsions and suppositories.
Apart from non-toxic and pharmaceutically acceptable inert excipients such as, for example, distilled water, glucose, lactose, starch, talc, vegetable oils, ethylene glycol, and the like, these preparations can also contain preservatives, stabilizers, wetting agents, emulsifiers, and the like.
The compositions thereby obtained generally take the form of measured doses, and can contain, depending on the conditions treated and on the patient's age and sex, from 0.1 to 100 mg of active principle. Depending on the circumstances, they may be administered orally, rectally or parenterally, at a dose of 0.1 to 100 mg from one to several times a day.
The examples which follow illustrate the invention and in no way limit it.
The NMR parameters relating to the compounds exemplified are collated in Tables I-VIII.

A solution of 5.3 g (0.024 mol) of 6-hydroxy-5,6-dihydro-4-oxo-4H-pyrrolo[1,2-a]thieno[2,3-f][1,4]diazepine in 400 ml of dichloromethane is added in small portions to a suspension of 3.66 g (0.096 mol) of lithium aluminum hydride in 20 ml of ethyl ether. The reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes and then heated to reflux for 6 hours. After cooling, the solution obtained is poured onto 250 g of ice. The emulsion formed is drained and the organic phase is then separated after settling has taken place. The aqueous phase is extracted with 200 ml of dichloromethane. The organic phases are combined, dried over calcium chloride, purified with animal charcoal and evaporated under vacuum. The residual oil is dissolved in 300 ml of ethyl ether and a stream of gaseous HCl is bubbled into this ethereal solution for 15 seconds. The precipitate is drained, washed with ether and recrystallized. 3.2 g of 5,6-dihydro-4H-pyrrolo[1,2-a]thieno -[2,3-f][1,4]diazepine are thereby obtained in the form of beige crystals, melting point 260° C.
